Misc Setting
File Size
Specify a maximum size limit in kilobytes for the total combined size of all the capture
files on the Zyxel Device, including any existing capture files and any new capture files
you generate.
Note: If you have existing capture files you may need to set this size larger or
delete existing capture files.
The valid range is 1 to 50000. The Zyxel Device stops the capture and generates the
capture file when either the file reaches this size.
File Prefix
Specify text to add to the front of the file name in order to help you identify frame
capture files.
You can modify the prefix to also create new frame capture files each time you perform
a frame capture operation. Doing this does no overwrite existing frame capture files.
The file format is: [file prefix].cap. For example, “monitor.cap”.
Capture
Click this button to have the Zyxel Device capture frames according to the settings
configured in this screen.
You can configure the Zyxel Device while a frame capture is in progress although you
cannot modify the frame capture settings.
The Zyxel Device’s throughput or performance may be affected while a frame capture
is in progress.
After the Zyxel Device finishes the capture it saves a combined capture file for all APs.
The total number of frame capture files that you can save depends on the file sizes and
the available flash storage space. Once the flash storage space is full, adding more
frame captures will fail.
Stop
Click this button to stop a currently running frame capture and generate a combined
capture file for all APs.
Reset
Click this button to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
